SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

Placeholders for what? Completely different characters?

To show five unknown characters. Ono isn’t above misdirection.

You know what would be cool? Kolin alt costume if Helen is indeed a part of Season 2

Imho

Standard- Helen
Story (FM)- Kolin
Premium($)- ??? Maybe Illuminati themed?

That’s the point though, I’m not making an assumption.

Can Datta fight? I have no idea. But if one day they suddenly showed me that he COULD fight, I wouldn’t flip out and say “WTF! Dhalsim’s son can’t fight!” because they’ve never shown me that he CAN’T fight. They could go either way with him and it would be fine because they wouldn’t be contradicting anything they’d established previously.

Helen is the same way, they never showed or told you whether she could or couldn’t fight, but you’re butthurt over the possible realization that she could fight the whole time.

I think it’s more because she’s a Secret Society member, and so far, the only two Society member’s we’ve gotten have leaned very heavily on elemental powers(Fire/Ice for Gill, Lightning for Urien).

I think that would be a given. I’m just curious whether the game would decide to name the character Helen or Kolin.

Guy on the right looks like a buff Iori

I hope one of the newcomers is a mainland Europe-rep, because we need more of that in the game.

I’m hoping the katana-hilt female silhouette that looks like Satsuki is actually Simone from Cannon Spike. If you look at the silhouette, she’s wearing some kind of top that’s geometrically wide at the bust and then cinches into a tight waistline – could be a loose crop top or a bolero jacket.

If you look at the Kiki art of Simone, you’ll see she has the Veronica Lake bangs-over-one eye thing that the silhouette seems to have (in the same pointy shape as Satsuki) and that her shoulder pauldron armor thing has been extended slightly below the bust in a bolero jacket style:

Classic simone looks miles better imo

Oh, for sure. I hope the weird daisy dukes were just Kiki feeling frisky or something.

Kinu’s take from back when:

Well, i have my hype at the lowest for #4… if end up being Simone i will be happy

They can even steal uzi doll and katana doll specials for her

So yeah, at this point my predictions are: Akuma, Kolin, Gen’s disciple, Haggar, Simone, ???

With the understanding that Haggar and Simone could each totally be something lame instead.

You definitely need to learn that people could have a different idea from yours.

Having Helen/Kolin as a playable character doesn’t change my life in any way,but if people literally died to have her in who am I to stop Capcom in making their dreams come true? There’s no reason to overreacting. ** We’ll making assumptions since we don’t know 100% who those characters are.**

Gen’s Disciple if he was coming would likely be the final DLC.

And please be Simone!

I’m just thinking about the art they showed us, which was of a kind of slick, high fashion guy.

Could the Iori-style silhouette be a refined version of these concept designs with a new outfit? It seems plausible to me.

Akuma looked nothing like his character art, so I doubt Disciple will either.

Right, and the concept art for Laura and F.A.N.G. didn’t look much like them either until the very final designs. These pieces of art don’t match the silhouette at all. But the general idea – more of an SNK-type punk rock design, sleek lines, high-fashion jacket? If they’re still thinking of Gen’s disciple with this characterization (minus killing Gen, obviously!), then I could see ‘trenchcoat’ silhouette being this guy for sure.

I want the vitiligo to stay at least.

Yes! I figured it was scarring and the paler part was his actual skin color, rather than the other way around, but either way I agree. It’s a nicely distinctive look.
